Thesis (MTech(Management))-- Cape Technikon, 2002 / Outcomes-based Education was introduced to the South African education system in
1996 with the implementation of Curriculum 2005. The first post-apartheid Minister of
Education, Professor Sibusiso Bhengu, set himself the task of radically reforming the
education system and of eliminating everything which had emanated from the apartheid
regime. This work has been continued by the present Minister of Education, Mc Kadar
Asmal.
The reformation of the education system and the implementation of Curriculum 2005 by
the government was based on the advice of international experts. This advice was
garnered at a premium in costs, but there is a general view that South African
circumstances were not always taken into consideration. In many instances there is a
feeling that Curriculum 2005 was forced upon the educators.
This study focuses on education in South Africa, past and present, as well as the
perceptions of Curriculum 2005 by educators, and whether educators are really motivated
by it. This study also focuses on certain problematic areas in Curriculum 2005 and
suggests possible solutions.
